Tansey Red Card Rescinded

24 November 2011 15:34
Greg Tansey has had his disgraceful red card rescinded by the SFA.

The card, dished out by referee Stephen O'Reilly when Celtic cheat Georgios Samaras reacted as if he'd been taken out by a sniper, has not even been reduced to a yellow meaning the SFA believes that no punishable foul was committed at all.

Hopefully Inverness Caley Thistle will push for retrospective punichment for both the cheating Celtic player - now proved to have deliberately dived by the SFA - and the referee who made the obvious error.

Confirming the decision, the SFA's website contains this message:

A Fast Track Tribunal convened today in accordance with the Judicial Panel Protocol considered the following case:    Player: Greg Tansey, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC   Match: Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC v Celtic FC, Saturday 19 November 2011   Complaint: Claim of wrongful dismissal for serious foul play   Outcome:  The Tribunal upheld the Player Reference and rescinded the red card.
